Twenty-four public tuberculosis dispensaries in Istanbul.
To investigate microscopic examination of new pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) cases and treatment outcomes of smear-positive cases.
A retrospective analysis of 12572 new pulmonary tuberculosis cases between 1998 and 2000.
Microscopic examination of sputum smears of all patients and treatment outcomes of smear-positive cases were evaluated.
Of 12572 new TB cases registered between 1998 and 2000, 78.1% (n = 9822) were pulmonary and 21.9% (n = 2750) were extra-pulmonary TB cases. Of 9822 new pulmonary TB cases, 5438 (55.4%) were sputum smear-positive and 2154 (21.9%) had no sputum examination. In smear-positive pulmonary cases, treatment outcomes were classified as follows: 2521 (46.4%) cured, 1926 (35.4%) treatment completed, 128 (2.4%) treatment failure, 514 (9.4%) default, 260 (4.8%) transfer out and 72 (1.3%) died. Treatment success was 81.8% (n = 4447). Between 1998 and 2000, the smear-positive case rate improved from 47.5% to 61.5% and the cure rate improved from 41.8% to 51.1%.
The microscopic diagnosis and cure rates are low in Istanbul dispensaries. The laboratories should be re-organised and directly observed treatment should be performed.
伊斯坦布尔的24家公共结核病诊疗所。
调查新发性肺结核病例的显微镜检查及涂片阳性病例的治疗结果。
对1998年至2000年间12572例新发性肺结核病例进行回顾性分析。
评估所有患者痰液涂片的显微镜检查及涂片阳性病例的治疗结果。
在1998年至2000年间登记的12572例新发性结核病病例中,78.1%(n = 9822)为肺结核病例,21.9%(n = 2750)为肺外结核病例。在9822例新发性肺结核病例中,5438例(55.4%)痰液涂片呈阳性,2154例(21.9%)未进行痰液检查。在涂片阳性的肺结核病例中,治疗结果分类如下:2521例(46.4%)治愈,1926例(35.4%)完成治疗,128例(2.4%)治疗失败,514例(9.4%)中断治疗,260例(4.8%)转出,72例(1.3%)死亡。治疗成功率为81.8%(n = 4447)。1998年至2000年间,涂片阳性病例率从47.5%提高到61.5%,治愈率从41.8%提高到51.1%。
伊斯坦布尔诊疗所的显微镜诊断率和治愈率较低。应重新组织实验室并实施直接观察治疗。
